After being stuck in the house all of last week and not being able to do much, i got better this week and was able to get some stuff done!

| heres my work space... super exiciting, i know. haha |
This week we had special training with our mission president and his assistants and it was great! we learned about how we can work with church members more effectively, and i got so see one of the members from my old ward because he came to help out! the only downside to the training, was that i lost a lot of time to work in the offices and fell a little behind, but i worked hard and got caught up and we were able to have splits with our zone leaders. I didnt know we were going to have them untill a few hours before they showed up in the offices, so i didnt have an overnight bag or anything and when we went to the house, i realized that i left my keys with my companion and couldnt get anything, so i just went with my teaching stuff and what i had on, so i went two days with the same clothes! its all good, its not like i havnt done that before the mission haha.
We havnt been able to see Miguel since he came to church 2 weeks ago, but we have plans to see him tonight to see how hes doing and see if he can go to church tomorrow.
Yesterday we got a reference from a sister in our ward and when we went to see her, we asked her family if anyone wanted to join, and her father and 2 grandkids (who are teenagers) joined us! the lesson went really well and we have an appointment to see them again tonight! I think this family has a lot of potential to progress and im really excited!
This week another elder showed me a scripture and told me to substitute some words and it was amazing! i cant remember the verse or anything haha, but it was where Nephi was building a boat and he didnt make it after the manner of the world, he followed the direction of the lord, and he prayed often in the mount. the way the other missionary told me to read it made it sound like Nephi build his life after the manner of the lord instead of the way the world teaches how to build your life, and he went to the temple to pray often.
Challenge: Build yourself the way Heavenly Father wants you to be built and not how the world tells you to do it. If we listen to our father in heaven and are in constant prayer, he will show us how we should build ourselves and others around us so we can lead happier lives and be better people.
¡Les quiero mucho! ¡Espero que todos tengan una buena semana! Con Amor, Elder Wagner
ps, sorry i dont have many pictures, but the offices arent too exciting haha.
